IMO D

You're comparing the color-discriminating apparatus of the human eye with the color-discriminating apparatus of the insects' eyes.

In A and B color-discriminating apparatus of the human eye is incorrectly compared with the insects eyes.

C 'that' refers to 'color-discriminating apparatus'-which is singular hence you need depends. Plus the sentence should be that of the insects eye not just insect.

E. that of the insect's what?

That of an insect's eye


Missing of eye in E causes illogical comparison

" Depends on " is better than "dependent on" -atleast in this case

"that" is functioning as a pronoun replacing "apparatus"

essentially, the sentence is:
Like the color-discriminating apparatus of the human eye, the apparatus of an insect's eye depends on...
